A rare sight these days..
If I had my way, every pub would have a real fire to make one feel at home. Even the smoke billowing from the chimney was a welcoming sight. With ChelseaDan5 at the Greyhound in #Enfield, #London.

I (@VinnieSullivan) used to frequent this venue in my youth. After an evening in #Wanstead, #SouthWoodford or elsewhere, we'd often head to a club that had kept it's pub name. The Rising Sun (20 #Woodford new road) rested in a forested area of #Walthamstow tucked between #Leytonstone and #Woodford. My family once drank in the actual pub itself, I simply visited it's shadow in order to chat up women and have a decent enough reason to stay out late. Little did I realise that I, thinking as a mere youth, joined in the decline of #Britain's pubs. We all know that we cannot turn back time, but few of us truly learn from our mistakes in the hope of a better future. It's a short walk from where I was born (#WhippsCross hospital #Leytonstone, #London, #E11) and sits within the tree's of #Epping forest, a realm I know and love. This part of the forest named #GilbertsSlade. I remember the warmth I felt leaving in the early hours after a skinful upon seeing that I was within the forest I love.
A crowd gathers outside the 'Frying Pan' public house on #BrickLane in #Whitechapel, East #London during the 1880s. Brick Lane is now a graveyard of pubs. Instead, one is met with a baragement of graffiti. This photo was taken during the time that the Whitechapel Murders (Jack the Ripper murders) were taking place. If only we could hear what they were saying. #RIP 🍻
This 1850s image (which was probably taken from #Southwark Bridge) shows #London long before modernity ruined its charm. One can see the old Iron and Bull wharfs on #UpperThamesStreet, #Queenhithe, which have long since vanished.
The greatest sights in #London are the parts that have been most left undisturbed.

The ‘Hoop & Grapes’ - 47 #Aldgate High St, Greater, #London, #EC3N
We traversed to the @HoopandGrapes_ to discuss its historical interest and importance within #London and #Britain's overall pub scene. This pub isn't simply important as a pub. It's an insight into the many buildings that once made up the #CityofLondon before the 'Great fire' of 1666. ChelseaDan5 and myself (@VinnieSullivan) were joined by the wonderful @TheWonderingEnglishman. Together, we looked at the building not only for its registered history but for the many unknown moments it must have seen. We'd like to thank the staff who were incredibly helpful, polite, and facilitating. Our view into the cellar/tunnel was very special and ensured we'll be singing the Hoops praises for years to come. We hope you'll join us on YouTube.
Thank you all for joining us, you'll find the full feature in high quality below. 🤝🍻
